Almost Heroes
(Warner Bros.)
Director Christopher Guest goes for mass
appeal in this completely stupid tale of two explorers (played by the late
Chris Farley and Friends' Matthew Perry) in a race with Lewis and Clark
to reach the Pacific Ocean. And while you're trying to figure out why they keep
putting members of the Friends cast in movies that are always sure
disasters, or telling yourself that Perry and Farley have some sort of
chemistry together, you can almost pretend you don't see every "joke" a-comin'
round the mountain.
